No, I'm totally with you on Graham. When you can feel that fret, and eggshell anxiuosness, as if you were there, he's gotta be doing something a whole lotta' right. The events in the series shows the other contrasting side to Combo, doesn't it, when he returns and helps Lol out. Oh, that may be '88? Yes it is. Have you watched '88 yet? Proper emotional, gripping stuff.

It's not a bearing on the usage of the term, but in no way does it qualify him to a universally 'known' director. He has been given credit for one of his 6 works in which he directed, but in no way would this put him in the category of directors that akbar was talking about.

You said "virtually unknown" before akbar said anything. He became attached to Godzilla in January 2011, well less than a year after Monsters, I think he must have been known enough.

Aah shit! Sorry Rob! That's not spoiled much, to be fair, I was going to go into much more detail aswell. You'll be pleased to know, aswell as '88, there's going to be a '90 coming, possibly this year.

Nah no worries
I read it's been put on hold. I have to tell you a very funny thing. I might not have been totally compos mentis and I was as confused as fuck why Milky was in 86. I thought he didn't make it that far, without wanting to spoil it for others, I'll say no more.

So having 1 successful (we are determining a Gross of $4 mill worldwide with some notable recognition from film critics with its major awards coming from only the Britain Independent Film Awards as being "successful") venture in the field of directing is what differentiates you from being "virtually unknown" and a "known" director?

The reason I used the term "virtually unknown" was due to the screenwriters involved and the director (not the actors or producers signed on) - to which I added in my Edit that I was unaware of Darabont being signed as a screenwriter as well. Giving someone like Darabont, Cranston, Goyer, and Callaham credit for being "known" talent is understandable. However, giving the nod to a guy who has done one good film (in my eyes) as being "known" for his work as a director is absurd to me. The same goes for Taylor-Johnson as he might be recognizable for his roles in Savages and Kick-Ass, but in no way is he "known" in the mass media for being casted in starring roles for "major" movies. Perhaps we have a different definition for what is qualified as a "known" or "unknown" commodity.
